Mona

Mona reimagines the everyday button-front tee with thoughtful details that make it feel truly refined. A beautifully worked button band becomes the focal point, while the fine ribbing brings out the crisp stitch definition and natural drape of Tynd.

Simple, polished, and easy to wear, Mona is the kind of piece that slips effortlessly into any wardrobe. Style it on its own with warm-weather linens or layer it under a cardigan or jacket when the seasons shift.

Designed with longevity in mind, Mona is a timeless knit you’ll reach for again and again—comfortable, versatile, and made to be lived in.

Buttons are sewn onto buttonband to correspond with buttonholes. Maintain slip stitch selvedge at edges of flat sections throughout.
